SharpCloud specializes in roadmapping, risk management, and collaborative strategy platforms that transform complex business data into actionable visual stories. Over 300 organizations globally rely on SharpCloud, including blue-chip names like Rolls Royce, Siemens, MoD, and Volvo, for business analytics, portfolio management, and decision support.
Founded by Rusty Johnson and Sarim Khan—the creators of Pertmaster Risk Analysis software (later acquired by Primavera)—SharpCloud emerged from their deep expertise in portfolio management, risk analysis, and systems thinking. With headquarters in London and expanding US operations, the company leveraged its founders' track record to scale internationally.
SharpCloud has raised $5.78 million over two rounds, with a Series A led by YFM Equity Partners and headline investments from Chaucer Consulting. YFM’s total commitment reached £9 million, fueling accelerated product development, US office expansion, and international sales initiatives.
